The Grace and Truth Paradox: Responding with Christlike Balance

Grace or truth…or both? Truth without grace breeds self-righteousness and crushing legalism. Grace without truth breeds deception and moral compromise. Is it possible to embrace both in balance? Jesus did. Randy Alcorn offers a simple yet profound two-point checklist of Christlikeness. “In the end,” says Alcorn, “we don’t need grace or truth. We need grace and truth. And for people to see Jesus in us, they must see both.”

In fact, Jesus says more about money than any other topic—including Heaven and Hell.

The Law of Rewards

In The Law of Rewards, Alcorn shows that we shouldn't serve God just for rewards. It's more important to remember that God's reward system is for His glory, our good, and the good of others. Once we understand God's incentive program, our attitude towards generous living will never be the same. This audiobook explains how our faith determines our eternal destination but our behavior determines our eternal rewards.

Those who follow the prophetic teachings of Perry Stone acknowledge that he has received advance insight into and warnings of events that occurred years later. At times, illumination for the future is encoded in past events, and these events flow in cyclical patterns. In this dynamic exposé, Perry has tapped into many patterns, including possible repetitive cycles affecting America and its leaders.

Sex and Money: Pleasures That Leave You Empty and Grace That Satisfies

Pleasure: We live in a world obsessed with finding it, passionate about enjoying it, and desperate about maintaining it. Chief among such objects of affection are sex and money - two pleasures unequaled in their power to captivate our attention and demand our worship. In what is sure to become an instant classic, popular author Paul David Tripp pulls back the curtain on the lies of our flesh and the ways we distort God’s good gifts, examining the insanity of our culture and exposing our tendency to fall prey to the hollow promises of this world.

The Pilgrim's Progress

Few books besides the Bible have been translated, printed, and read as often as The Pilgrim's Progress. John Bunyan's classic allegory of Christian, the Pilgrim, on his perilous journey to the Celestial City has touched hearts and minds for more than 300 years, and still the demand continues.

Trusting God

Because obeying God makes sense to us, in most cases, His laws appear reasonable and wise, and even when we don’t want to obey them, we usually concede that they are good for us. But the circumstances we find ourselves in often defy explanation. When unexpected situations arise that appear unjust, irrational, or even dreadful, we feel confused and frustrated. And before long, we begin to doubt God’s concern for us or His control over our lives.

Killing Christians: Living the Faith Where It's Not Safe to Believe

Could you retain your faith even if it meant losing your life? Your family's lives?

The depth of oppression Jesus' followers suffer is unimaginable to most Western Christians. Yet it is an everyday reality for those who choose faith over survival in Syria, Iran, Egypt, Lebanon, and other countries hostile to the Gospel of Christ.

raising children to embrace sexual purity

providing an example of purity in the home

protecting purity in dating (at any age)

and maintaining purity in marriage.

Biblical, practical, and concise, The Purity Principle is a one-stop handbook for individuals, families and churches.

Great book, full of surprises. It challenged me with how I need to be open with my wife, and ask her to pray with me about things I am struggling with. I would say that this book is not so much about how to be "pure", but how to overcome temptations and our weaknesses.
